Using a Special Application
• Configure the Special Applications screen as required.
• On your PC, use the application normally. Remember that only one (1) PC can
use each Special application at any time. Also, when 1 PC is finished using a par-
ticular Special Application, there may need to be a "Time-out" before another PC
can use the same Special Application. The "Time-out" period may be up to 3 min-
utes.
If an application still cannot function correctly,
try using the "DMZ" feature.
Multi-DMZ
This feature, if enabled, allows the DMZ computer or computers on your LAN to be
exposed to all users on the Internet.
• This allows almost any application to be used on the "DMZ PC".
• The "DMZ PC" will receive all "Unknown" connections and data.
• If the DMZ feature is enabled, you must select the PC to be used as the "DMZ
PC".
To use this feature:
• Enter an IP address allocated to you by your ISP into the WAN IP address field.
• Select the PC to be the DMZ PC for traffic sent to this IP address.
